Hey no worries man, none at all. I didn't know you were bent or anything. You'll find nearly all here enjoy different opinions, but we're all pretty smart (save DakotaT and nerdmann) and can add a lot of different dynamics to any discussion.

Even though I think your trade next years round one pick is insane, it doesn't mean I don't appreciate you throwing it down as a suggestion. Hell, how would you like my suggestion of paying my car payment? ;-)

edit: just saw the other thread in random babble. I'd recommend moving all responses to this post to that thread :)

I'd rather we kept this civil. I appreciate your points, I really do, and I feel like you really know what you are talking about. I could just do without the smack.

Cool.

Zero2Cool, you are more than welcome to think my mentioning a possibility of trading 2013 R1 for a 2012 R1 is insane. And I would be happy to make your car payment. Are you leasing that Yugo?

[grin1]

Its all good.

Most boards treat newbies one of two ways:

Way #1: Call this the "shut the eff up, newbie" approach. Don't speak unless you're spoken to. Don't speak until you know how everyone hear rolls and stay shut up until you speak like the rest of us. Learn how to conform, or we don't want you.

Way #2: Call this "say what you want but you're a newbie, and I and my guys, we like us and your job is to kiss our butts" approach. If you haven't contributed X times (X →∞), we really aren't going to pay attention. We're the cool clique. If you aren't our kind of cool, you're not worth our time.

This place does neither. Oh, sure, people here will nudge you to listen for awhile (see NSD, above), to not judge us too quick. But only while they're paying serious attention to you. People read *and* contribute to the "new members" threads. Yes, we know topic X has been treated before -- topic X gets treated on pretty much every board on the Packers, after all -- but we like talking about topic X again. Person Y might hate topic X, but in general the board has lots of people who aren't at all tired of topic X. And if topic X becomes too dominant, Kevin is real good about knowing when to split it off into a sub-forum (see,e.g Brett Favre).

But we're not only diverse, but we actually enjoy each other's differences. Rarely do people take themselves too seriously; but almost always people take each other more than seriously enough.

It may be online, but PackersHome isn't a "virtual" community.

It's real.

Fortunately there are not too many Favre-ites left. Although I am convinced there are a few closet ones. But as long as they are somewhat diverse I don't mind.




There should be a new joke in that line.

A couple of vikings fans and bears fan were in a bar. One of vikings fans asked the other two if they had their dream job of working for front office of the NFL team that they followed and there was a fire what is the first thing they would attempt to rescue. One vikings fan said the life size portrait of Bud Grant that is in the lobby. The other vikings fan said that is a good idea but he would pick up Leslie Frazier's playbook. "It is a work of art and I would hate to see it get lost". The bears fan thought for a while and finally decided that he would grab the Lombardi Trophy. He said he figures there is only one and he wouldn't need any help carrying it. The two vikings fans looked at each other in disbelief. One final asked, "What's the Lombardi trophy?"


naw there has to be a better one than that.


BTW P2W, I am one of the many many resident smart-asses on this board. Welcome.

But most importantly, judging by zero's posts hes finally got the multiquote button working properly! hell ya, now i need to go searching for a reason to use it.


edit: false alarm. multiquote still broken :<
